Aaron Nesmith will return to Boston on Wednesday for the first time since the Celtics traded him to the Pacers in July for Malcolm Brogdon. Daniel Theis, the other major outgoing player in the deal, is injured, but Nesmith is playing well off the Indiana bench, shooting 37% from three after picking up steam over the past month. The former No. 14 overall pick from the 2020 NBA Draft rode ups-and-downs, Joe Mazzulla remembered after working with him, but he remembered Nesmith being someone who played really hard.
